The Most Painful Time of the Year
Tears are falling on ribbons of red
I should be wrapping your present
But I'm crying instead
And I knew just what to get you
All your favorite things
'Cause I'd trade the whole world to see
The smile it would bring
How can it be the most wonderful time of the year
When there's a place at my table where someone is not here
So spare me all your happy holiday and cheer
'Cause there's a place by my tree where someone is not here
It's the most painful time of the year
I found that old present
That you gave me that year
Now I hold it tightly
To imagine you are here
'Cause I'd trade the whole world to feel
Like you are near
How can it be the most wonderful time of the year
When there's a place at my table where someone is not here
So spare me all your happy holiday and cheer
'Cause there's a place by my tree where someone is not here
It's the most painful time of the year
But I'll remember all those years
I still had you with me here
Nothing can take that from me
I hold you in my memory
Tears are falling with the snow
Melting deep beneath my soul
If you could hear me I would say
You are worth all of this pain
How can it be the most wonderful time of the year
When there's a place at my table where someone is not here
So spare me all your happy holiday and cheer
'Cause there's a place by my tree where someone is not here
It's the most painful time of the year
I should be wrapping your present
But I'm crying instead
And I knew just what to get you
All your favorite things
'Cause I'd trade the whole world to see
The smile it would bring
How can it be the most wonderful time of the year
When there's a place at my table where someone is not here
So spare me all your happy holiday and cheer
'Cause there's a place by my tree where someone is not here
It's the most painful time of the year
I found that old present
That you gave me that year
Now I hold it tightly
To imagine you are here
'Cause I'd trade the whole world to feel
Like you are near
How can it be the most wonderful time of the year
When there's a place at my table where someone is not here
So spare me all your happy holiday and cheer
'Cause there's a place by my tree where someone is not here
It's the most painful time of the year
But I'll remember all those years
I still had you with me here
Nothing can take that from me
I hold you in my memory
Tears are falling with the snow
Melting deep beneath my soul
If you could hear me I would say
You are worth all of this pain
How can it be the most wonderful time of the year
When there's a place at my table where someone is not here
So spare me all your happy holiday and cheer
'Cause there's a place by my tree where someone is not here
It's the most painful time of the year
